Roof cleaning in the Hammock.
The oceanfront and Intracoastal homes along the Hammock take more salt air and humidity than any roof inland, which is exactly why they streak and grow algae faster. We lift the black streaks and algae off your roof with a soft wash, the method that cleans without damaging the surface.
What causes the black streaks
Those dark stains are Gloeocapsa magma, a hardy algae that thrives on Florida humidity. Roofs across the Hammock are almost entirely tile, with a little metal and shingle, about 87% tile, and on these coastal homes the growth comes back fast. Left alone it spreads, holds moisture against the roof, and shortens its life.
Soft wash, not pressure
Roofs are cleaned with a low-pressure soft wash and a roof-safe treatment, never high pressure, which cracks tile and strips shingle granules. The treatment kills the algae at the root so it stays gone longer than a surface rinse.

How it works
We look at the roof first
We identify the roof type and how far the growth has spread so the estimate and the treatment match your roof.
Low-pressure soft wash
A roof-safe solution is applied at low pressure to lift algae, lichen, and streaks without harming the surface.
We protect your property
Landscaping and surfaces below are wet down and watched throughout, so only the roof growth is touched, nothing else.

Common questions.
Will pressure washing ruin my roof?
High pressure can crack tile and blast the protective granules off shingles, which is why we never use it on roofs. We soft wash instead, the method roofing manufacturers recommend.
How long will the roof stay clean?
Because the soft wash kills the algae rather than just rinsing it, results last far longer than a pressure rinse. In the Hammock, humidity means a recurring schedule keeps it looking new.
Do you clean tile, metal, and shingle?
Yes, all three, which matters in the Hammock where roofs are almost entirely tile, with a little metal and shingle. Each surface gets the right low-pressure approach.
Can you reach a steep or tall roof?
Yes. For tall or steep roofs we also offer drone cleaning, so we reach the whole roof safely without walking it.
